Students in semester one Musical Theatre rehearse for their "final" - three one-act musicals.
A mental health message from the Positive Psychology Council:
Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) are Good for Everyone!
It's nice to be the recipient of a kind act, but did you know that there are many benefits for the person who does the good deed? Such as:
-reduced stress
-increased endorphin release and sense of well being
-lower anxiety and depression
-release of the “love hormone” oxytocin, which lowers blood pressure
-increased energy and feelings of happiness
So go for it, be a RAKtivist – do a Random Act of Kindness every day!
Last week we welcomed A.J. Anderson of the SBVAS to the First Responder class. Students volunteered to give up their lunch and advisory time to attend this valuable “Stop the Bleed” class. Students learned how to pack wounds and properly apply tourniquets. The other half of the class will attend next week. We are so thankful for our connection with SBVAS!
SES preschoolers are studying wind and water. They experimented with objects that float and sink. There were many questions and ideas! Why do some big things float and some tiny things sink to the bottom? Why do spoons made from wood and plastic stay on top and metal spoons clang to the bottom?
